I know using UNIX_TIMESTAMP() will cause MySQL to not cache the query, which is reasonable. But, if I use UNIX_TIMESTAMP() to convert a DATETIME-column, will it also miss the cache?

It will still be cached if you pass a value or column as a parameter to
UNIX_TIMESTAMP().It is also worth knowing in case you weren’t aware, that any changes to your table result in the cache being cleared. So if the table you are querying changes frequently, you probably aren’t having much if any benefit of the query cache.
